Summary
“Stop moving,” Saguru instructs, tightening his suit jacket around Kid’s shoulder until he’s certain it’ll hold for a few seconds. He steps away, turning his eyes away from Kid for a split second before he thinks the better of it. “If you run away and bleed all over London, I’m not helping hide a single bit of the evidence.”
“So,” Kid says, slowly, swallowing down the laughter but not managing to remove it from his voice. “You’re going to help hide the evidence if I don’t bleed all over London?”
“Well,” Saguru responds, turning his back again. “If you don’t run away, at least.”

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Lysa’s letter never makes it to Winterfell.
In its absence, King Robert still looks to renew the spark of friendship he once had with Eddard Stark, but when Ned turns down the offer to be Hand, his attention shifts to his namesake and Ned’s eldest son instead. Thus, Robb goes south in the place of his father, down into the lion’s den that is King’s Landing, almost entirely alone. Meanwhile, Jon finds that having the name Snow can be useful, Arya takes control of her own life, and through it all Ned desperately tries to keep his family safe.
